Key points of this article (case sharing): In preparation for the upcoming birth of a new member of his family, Mr. Lin was cleaning out the glove cabinets left behind by his elders to free up space for childcare, when he accidentally discovered two bottles of old wine with simple packaging.

In the fast-paced city of Hong Kong, many precious old things are often hidden deep in inconspicuous storage cabinets. As a professional appraiser of "Chunxiang Wine Merchants", I come into contact with all kinds of aged wines every day, but every time I open those dusty cartons, I still have the expectation of opening a blind box. Today, I want to share with you a story about "Beijing Tong Ren Tang"Tiger Bone Wine"A true buyback story.

Origin: The "yellow cylinder" cleared out by the elders after moving house

Last Tuesday, we received a WhatsApp inquiry from Mr. Ho from Kwun Tong. Mr. He is a middle school teacher who is currently helping his elderly father with moving matters. Because my father was old and it was inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, the family decided to let the old man move from a big house to a smaller house to a housing estate with an elevator and more convenient access.

While helping his father pack his old belongings, Mr. He found several bottles of old wine packaged in yellow cylinders in a wooden box under the bed. My father recalled that this was a gift from relatives and friends in the 1980s and 1990s. He was reluctant to drink it and forgot about it after leaving it alone. Mr. He never drank alcohol and had no research on these old wines. He felt that bringing it to his new home would take up space, so he decided to sell it and planned to use the windfall to buy a massage chair with physiotherapy functions for his father as a sign of filial piety.

Through the photos sent by Mr. He, I recognized at a glance that this was a highly collectible item.Beijing Tong Ren Tang tiger bone wine.

Appraisal process: details determine value

We made an appointment with Mr. He and came directly to your door for professional appraisal. The bottles of wine Mr. He took out are exactly the classic styles shown in the photos.

I explained the background and value of these two wines to Mr. He in detail. From the appearance, although these two wines are packaged in the iconic yellow printed cylinder, a closer look at the trademarks reveals a lot.

• One of them is printed with the "Li Shizhen" avatar trademark, which was a logo mainly used for export in the early days of Tongrentang. It has a high reputation overseas, including Hong Kong and Macao.
  
• The other is the "Tongren" brand trademark (that is, the circular logo with the word "Tongren" above the double tiger pattern), which also has a clear historical imprint in a specific era.
  

I carefully inspected the seal on the cylinder, the production date stamp on the bottom, and the sealing status of the wine bottle inside. Although these bottles of wine have been stored for decades, Mr. Ho's father kept them in a cool and dry wooden box, away from the common humidity and direct sunlight in Hong Kong. Therefore, the color of the outer packaging is still bright, and the evaporation rate of the wine (commonly known as "wine loss") is also controlled within a very ideal range.

After listening to my detailed dismantling of the packaging, sealing anti-counterfeiting features and historical background, Mr. He exclaimed: "I didn't expect that these old wines that were almost thrown away as waste products would contain so much knowledge."
